PlayStation VR release date and price leaked, cheaper than Oculus Rift

4.6

A Swiss online retailer has listed Sony's VR headset, PlayStation VR, for 498 Swiss francs (that's around €455 / £347). According to the retailer's listing, shipment of the VR headset is scheduled to commence on June 30, 2016. Sony has yet to comment on the matter.

It's a stark contrast to another recent retailer listing, when Amazon Canada suggested a price at $1,125 Canadian Dollars (that's around $800 USD), although that price point was denied by Sony immediately.

When it comes to VR, pricing is a sensitive issue, as demonstrated when Oculus recently announced the retail price for their headset.

If Oculus Rift costs $600 USD then how is Sony claiming that their $800 USD unit is cheaper than the Rift?

Congenital I'm honestly considering purchasing the VR, it is a lot cheaper then I expected.

Why it's a waste of money. I probably wouldn't consider VR for at least another 10-15 years.
